#1533 The pivot that saved Skillshare

1 hour 3 minutes

I love learning from business and learning from how they grow. One of the companies I’ve watched over the years is Skillshare.

They started with in-person events which I thought would give them an advantage over all the similar businesses teaching online. But then they pivoted, which told me there may have been a challenge they faced by going offline.

Since pivoting they’ve grown and grown and grown and I want to find out how they did it.

Michael Karnjanaprakorn is the founder of Skillshare, an online learning community for creators.
